- The Sixth Floor Museum presented a special program to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of President Kennedy’s death. Associate Curator Stephen Fagin showcased rarely seen films, photographs and new oral history recordings from the collection and discussed how these acquisitions help the Museum continue to build a more complete story of that fateful day. Audience members were also invited to share their memories.
This presentation took place at the Museum on November 22, 2015.

Wow ,those are great pictures ! I really like your work Stephen !
Gary Mack passed away unexpectedly. I also felt there was something sinister
I am always annoyed by Associate Curator Stephen Fagin's almost celebratory demeanor in every one of these 6th Floor Museum videos. It's like he is conducting a High School reunion instead of one of the most devastating moments in American history.
@Penswordsman: You expect Fagin to remain outwardly devastated, for how many decades?
Way more respectful on the pro conspiracy side of the fence.
The host is an excellent speaker, but he definitely needs a new tailor.
When the TSBD became the Sixth Floor Museum, the "Escape" route from the "Shooter's" window was removed. You cannot walk down the back stairway because it's no longer there. So an imaginary shooter goes down an imaginary stairway which conflicts with the testimony of the 2 men coming UP the stairway: Patrolman Marrion Baker and the building Manager Roy Truly.
So what's the right thing to do to create a Museum? Make it impossible to re-enact the crime at the scene of the crime. I have NO CONSPIRACY THEORY. I have a THOROUGH CORRUPTION THEORY.
Was there a back stairway that employees used?? I've never heard of it before, though I wondered about the possibility of egress off the 6th floor other than by the big main staircase or elevators. Did this staircase go from 1st floor to 7th floor?? Is it chronicled in books about TSBD in 1963??
Correct. What a colossal fraud of a sideshow. Documents sealed for 75 years, until everyone involved is dead. Shameful indictment of a corrupt country.
@@stevenelief6784 documents sealed
Not made public, it's against the law,isn't it?
We will never know the real truth on the crime of the century . The records are sealed forever . I thought maybe someday we could know the truth . It's not going to happen .
Thats nonsense why is that important know?
RIP Bill Paxton 😔
I had no idea, thx. RIP Bill Paxton.🌹
This was excellent! I enjoy knowing all the details.
My father was working in downtown Dallas that day. He was in the Mobil Building (red horse). I was approaching my 6th birthday and lived in Arlington. My mother watched on tv and cried. I didn't remember much then. Years later in 2001 I visited my father for the last time. He passed in 2002. I drove to Dallas to walk around Dealey Plaza. Had never been there in person before. I missed seeing the museum then. It was still a strange experience. It made me sad.
I RECALL THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 22 1963 FAIRLY WELL...I WAS LIVING IN IRVING TEXAS WITH MY DAD,RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE HOUSE THAT RUTH PAIN LIVED IN!
WHAT!!!
And Johnny Brewer once sold me a new pair of blue suede shoes.
Love your vlog! Very interesting, I was 5 months old in 1963! That black guy- his dad was chased by officers. Racist. 😮😮
This video is superb. Excellent recollections we haven't heard before. Well done. Thank you to all.
Why do they spend more time filming what the speaker is saying than focusing on the pics?
I thought the same thing! Very frustrating......the presenter was very proud of HIMSELF.....I also get the impression that this museum doesn't spend anytime in reference to the fact that a human was brutally murdered.....it seems very "festive" there...
Very interesting stories, JFK was murdered that day, and not by a "solitary lone wolf"
This country has a very dark and sinister force that has been working behind the scenes for a long time. I think that force is stronger now and is growing in intensity and visibility daily.
Lies and deception.
May love prevail.
@@davechristensen2482 This is an educational forum... not a wake.
It is all about the lefty soeaking. Pictures are a pretext to present himself as a sophisticated progressive...so full of himself.
Such a Tremendous Tragedy !!!!
The speech by administrator of Parkland Hospital from 1963 was priceless. Thanks.
My dad was teaching geography at Scituate Jr. High School in Massachusetts on November 22, 1963. His class was interrupted by an announcement stating that the president had been shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas. Moments later word came by a student at the door that the president had died from his wounds. 50 years later my dad who retired in 1994 after 38 years of teaching was a substitute teacher in the same school. On November 22, 2013 he was assigned to the same classroom! A complete coincidence?
Thank you for your comment. We would love to record a telephone interview with your father about his memories of the assassination and that time period for our ongoing Oral History Project at The Sixth Floor Museum. We believe that everyone has a story to share. If interested, please e-mail us at oralhistory@jfk.org.
My mother was a devout Catholic & she was also the first women to win the election for the UAW . She worked on Kennedy's campaign . She would clock in at 3:00 am & would do a 9 hour day & then go to the democratic campaign for six more hours . I am proud to say that my mother attended the inaugural ball . The rest is history . But I will say the assassination sent my mother into labor & she gave birth to Catherine...
@@SixthFloorMuseum hello my name is and
I was 3 years old when
Mr. Kennedy was killed
I thought Mr. Oswald
Was responsible but
I'm wrong he was approached by people
In our government and
He didn't want anything to do with this I believe
Then vice president
Johnson was being
Used somehow I
Don't believe Lyndon
Johnson wanted to
Become president of the United States that way
I believe he like Lee Harvey
Oswald did not have
Anything to do with the
Assassination of John
F. Kennedy at all it's
Like someone making
Someone's life a living
Hell so they can make
Them self's better over
Money or power
It's not worth it to
Hurt good people
Threw out history
Others lost there
Lives because some people disagreed
Ronald Regan didn't
Desurve to shot
He like others before
Him was good people
Trying to make a positive
Difference in the world
We live in today
I meant to say Mr. Oswald
Was not responsible
He was a patsy
@@keithsyth3339
Senor Oswald
He is so interesting listening to, fluent and articulate!
Why were you in such a hurry??? These witnesses should not be rushed!!!
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
A propaganda organization is open for business at the supposed shooter's location. How comforting.
Absolutely, absolutely
You're quite correct on that. What a disgrace, omissions of fact, glossed over and fluffed. America shame.
@@stevenelief6784 we now have Bobby Kennedy's assassin being paroled with people including Bobby's son claiming his innocence, a man who was tried and sentenced to death originaly, and we have Oswald who had no trial or in the two days of police custody nothing recorded or written down in any shape or form.
The book depository museum is a disgrace and the American system still pushing a lie down it's citizens throats
Sordid place, dallas, Texas.It's the place suitable for lbj and nixon,and bush,the meeting place one day before JFK assassination.
@432b86ed Yours is an agitprop comment left by a subscriber to a conspiracy for which after ~60 years there's no credible evidence, much less proof. How comforting, your land of make-believe.
I will never forget Friday, November 22, 1963. I was 10 tens from turning 6 years old. My Mom started crying and then when she explained what we were hearing we all started crying. May she and all of those who were affected that day Rest In Peace!
Richard, I TOO was going on 6 yrs old, and it was the adults crying that alerted me to the fact that this was something different, more serious. Everyone I know of our approximate age considers this an indelible moment in their young lives (as it obviously was to the rest of the world.) I believe I am a newshound (especially regarding major tragedies) because of this occurring when it did in my (our) childhood. RFK & Dr. King as well. It was an odd, scary time to grow up in, yet I wouldn’t trade it and would return in a minute. Anyway, peace to you (and yes, our parents.) ✌🏼Dale
10 tens??
Amazing how many people cried overJFK...if Trump or Biden got shot...no one would even care...lol
The pic with the three cameras circled at Hotel Texas...there is a NatGeo special interviewing girls in front row in which they show the pics taken that morning. Did the museum ever see that and contact them about pics?
aqqaaaa
Yes. Saw the interview on History channel, I believe.
I've always thought one of the most overlooked items for consideration is to find out WHY Kennedy felt it was so necessary to have the bubble top down, get close to people, have his secret service further back than normal. Was someone in his ear the whole time telling him that he needed to "appear" this way to the people of Dallas, or was it Kennedy who initiated this approach himself? I think if you found it was "encouraged" from his staff/advisors you'd find something to work with.
Kennedy's ss bodyguard (Kellerman) was in the limo with him. Between the first shot, heard by everyone, and the fatal shot, 6 seconds went by. Kellerman didn't move from his seat the entire time. This fact, along with the incident at the airport shortly before that, was/is clearly reasonable justification for a genuine investigation of the Secret Service's role in this.
@Jason A Hmm, so is that the reason that perplexed Agents were pulled off of Kennedy's car as the motorcade left the airport and headed for the kill zone? Wouldn't this lack of protection, if it was Kennedy's idea, already have been known by all involved, long before that?
@Jason A Second the first shot rang out the driver should have been accelerating out of there evasively driving and the secret service detail should have been on top of the President in seconds. So, so wrong.
Thats easy they wanted Kennedy as visibable as possible Kennedy going by with the bubble top up come on.
@@jamiestewart48 James read the drivers WC testimony Greer thoight the first shot was a firecracker just like so many other people did in Dealy Plaza.
26:55 I saved my family’s home movies (to be honest, I was the only kid that wanted them because I was the baby and most of the films were centered around me as a toddler and no one else cared because our parents divorced in 1963 and to this day they seem to blame the divorce on me. They sure took it out on me!
:(.
Anyway maybe that’s the reason home movies on 8 mm always appeal to me. The colors are so vibrant!!!!
Excellent presentation, I have recently discovered on UA-cam the work that you are doing there in old school book depository. I have been watching as many of your videos as I can find, thank you for all the work you have done. I am in Ireland and have always been fascinated with President Kennedy, I certainly hope to visit your museum soon. You have a lovely natural presenting style and your knowledge is amazing, very well done, thank you
The Sixth Floor Museum is excellent. I’ve been there a couple of times, when Gary Mack was still curator. Stephen Fagin took over when he died. He’s done a wonderful job. It was a tragic time in our history, but it’s handled so beautifully. I hope you get the chance to see for yourself.
I was born a month to the day after president Kennedy was killed I was told by my mother and aunt uncles you were born a month after so it made a big impression on me as a young kid and asked questions jfk was part of my early years and not forgot him what a sad loss to the world greetings from Glasgow scotland
As a 7 year old I would listen to my older brother’s record of Marvin Gaye’s - Abraham Martin and John, lay on my bed and cry. It wasn’t just the words to the song that moved me emotionally but also the sound of the violins. Just a mere 11 years later I became a Dad on 22nd November 1982.
Funkinetic:. LOL ! Try Dion who sang that song Marvin gaye does " I heard it on the grape vine ! Rey googling who wrote the song as well it sure wasn't Marvin gaye!
Where I was? November 22,1963, I was barely out of diapers and in a month, on December 17th, I was turning 4 years old.
Dam the Kennedies never liked never Will they were crookies
Teddy Roosevelt was VP for McKinley. Both were voted into office he succeeded McKinley at the age of 42. Kennedy was 43.
Thank you for this very poignant video and talk on that fateful day in Dallas. The Dream of a better kinder world was wiped out with the passing of JFK.Will visit next trip to US.
the "dream" has been a favorite lie for the DEMOCRAT PARTY
LBJ ! His family was scared ? I would be to since 1963 to 1967 over 396 people died under very weird circumstances . Scotland yard did the investigating !!!
It was a nightmare on Elm Street.
Sallinger was in France or Japan at the time of assassination. Kindly confirm.
He was flying to Japan and the plane turned around after they heard the news if I remember right. Read the book “Death of a President” by Manchester. It’s the most detailed book I’ve ever read about the assassination.
Salinger and six Cabinet members were flying to Japan. The plane turned around at news of the shooting. Somewhere on UA-cam are the recordings of the communications on the plane.
@@lukewarme9121 It was also the first of a number of cover-up reports.
‘New shoes for junie.’That was Oswalds last words to detective lavelle and was the code word to the other conspirators including marina.
This Is It, was the code word for Oswald’s contact in the theatre. The officer that arrested him said he shouted it out while he was being arrested. People in the theater said he had moved from seat to seat setting next to other people setting by themselves, of course he was trying to find his contact. He also kept saying I wish someone would come forward, come forward? Yes not I wish I had a lawyer but come forward. After he realized he was a patsy and had been double crossed he asked for a lawyer which he never got.
@@ronniebishop2496 Good points, though I'm not sure I agree about the code word/phrase. I do think the last person he sat next to - the pregnant lady - might have been his contact. I find it very curious/suspicious that she got up to go to the bathroom and never returned, and furthermore that she was never found and questioned. My thoughts go to June Cobb, who was CIA, and how curious it was that one of Oswald's unreturned library books was Arevalo's "The Fable of the Shark and the Sardines" which was translated from Spanish to English by none other than JUNE COBB (CIA). I've always wondered why he was reading THAT book and if there was some hidden code in it for him (or microdots?). Who knows Cobb could've been wearing a CIA disguise - a fake rubber pregnancy bump.
@@lindagiovannazambanini6218 Great information, you are educating me, thank you. What do you think Oswald meant when he shouted as he was being arrested, THIS IS IT!
@MalEvansUSA The last words of Beatles' roadie, Mal Evans (right before the big bang): "I'm not puttin' down m' weapon. If ya'll want it, pry it from me cold dead fingars."
I was four years from being born in 1963, but the assassination of president Kennedy, as one of the darkest historical events, is absolute most interesting to me. The further I go into it, the more obvious the conspiracy gets. However, when you are convinced it's always easy to add any new factor to your conclusion, and I basically try to keep the factors that aren't truly evident out. Like the Umbrella Man, who most likely was an individual protesting with appearing like Neville Chamberlain, this due to Joe Kennedy's subduing of Hitler pre to WW2. One of the most staggering and scary photographs is from Airforce One, so shortly after the assassination that Jackie Kennedy still wears her pink dress, full of her husband's blood and brain tissue, but where Lyndon B. Johnson, when the presidential oath is secured, quickly and with what appears like a grin turns to his good friend, congressman Albert Thomas, who winks back with an evil look. This picture says just as much as the Zapruder film.
I think much of this lecture is absurd or even disrespectful and obscene. How can anyone repeatedly smile and laugh about one of the darkest moments in American history? It's like some are sharing jolly memories from a their school days or a famous wedding.
LBJ stayed in the Presidential Suite in Fort Worth. It was deemed not safe enough for President Kennedy, which I do not believe! And then the dirty looks he was looking Kennedy over with at the breakfast. And the smile, while standing next to distraught, bloodied Jackie. Just 2 hours after his death, not a sign of remorse. Lady Bird either, not a tear shed.
@@shernitadee didn't know clams were always 😊. happy!
@@chairlesnicol672 They are most happy at high tide, when the ocean protects them.
We do not know everything,“ Meslay says. Why, for instance, were Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson given the more luxurious Will Rogers Suite, which, according to Walker, also had a small temporary display of Western art? “Hotel Texas” will attempt to reveal the story of the installation, with photographs, videos, and other archival material-including Day’s photos of the artworks in situ just after the First Couple had left. He surmised from shaving cream and a few drops of makeup that J.F.K. and Jackie had switched bedrooms.
GREAT presentation. 👍
Why was Hill the only Secret Service agent to run to the car? Did the others know the scoop and he didn't?
the scoop, NOOOO NOT THE SCOOP .... OH GAWD OH THE HUMANITY
Other than that Jackie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How Did YOU Like DALLAS ???? 🔫
When we stay far away from the place of assassination it gives us lot of emotion grief and sobbing like us in India. But people like you who stay close to the place it would give a certain amount of relaxation.
Fantastic program.
I was a high school student, seated in History Class. ("I like "History" , but nothing ever happens any more.") Some one was at the class room door? Mumbling was heard. The Teacher walked away from the door mumbling to herself "I think he's drunk again.(He was a Janitor. The speaker in the room came on...
... and they told us.......
I was six. My parents had a framed picture of him in the living room. I thought he was a relative...i was so sad he got kilked. My whole family grieved. Found out later he was not a relative
In the 6th grade on Long Island, my teacher told us that President Kennedy had been shot. News reports came to us over the intercom. We eventually did our usual Friday afternoon routine. Giving book reports. I gave mine on a book I chose a week earlier: The Day Lincoln Was Shot (Jim Bishop).
I have a UPI picture of JFK, LBJ, Jackie and Lady Bird taken at the Fort Worth Breakfast. Jackie shown beaming at the audience, having just entered. The back caption refers to President Kennedy just that way -- President Kennedy. No mention of any shooting. Which might have been one of the last to be sent out before the assassination. I have not seen it published.
It's seems kind of morbid to have a museum and various sites in Dealey Plaza set aside as tourist attractions to commemorate the killing of a President. Oh, Well, I suppose the city of Dallas has made a lot of money from tourists who visited these sites over the years.
I was in afternoon kindergarten and our teacher told us to lay down on our blankets while a group of teachers came in and watched the Television.
Where is the photo the boys took of the inside of the car?
I Believe That Nixon HAD Something To Do with jfk assassination
Where are any photos showing Chism family next to the Newman's? Any photos of Mr. Chism being tackled and held because he was running in Dealey Plaza?
I think they were standing on the other side of the freeway sign, closer to umbrella man.
Wait. My comment got a reply from THE Betty White? Can I get a date, too?
Arrested in Dealey for running while black.
Guess there are none.
@@jenniferwise8515 Not so
Got the creeps staying at Hyatt in 80's overlooking TSBD
Such a jovial narrator?
any of these people are fortunate to be alive - obviously they knew no nitty gritty
If a couple of the agents had been on the back of JFKs car, they might have blocked the third shot.
I learned to respect the power of DEATH
How refreshing...folks not still looking for the (imaginary) real killers!
@univibe23: It's refreshing not to see people still looking for those real killers. Right, OJ?
32:02 who is the character walking in the middle of the street? Suspicious at best.
Covfefe.
A man walking in the middle of the street unperturbed after rifle shots ? Weird !
There are suspicious characters to found at every scene, even scenes where nothing at all happens. Look out your cell window right now and verify it....
@@stddisclaimer8020 The President of the United States isn’t getting his blown off when I look out my window. So, yes, there’s a difference.
@@CWYMAN77 Leaving aside the possibility you have a reading or comprehension disability, the fact that the comment *clearly* referred to the potential for suspicious people in ALL events, be they big or small, was overlooked. Then again, "suspicious" is an entirely subjective description.
1:17:51 who is the jumper girl?
For some reason, she stands out to me.
Nice presentation.
Thank you for this amazing channel
Such a happy lil man talking murder
Beautiful
where is meatloaf he claims he was at Parkland and his picture was shown on the news that night.
Yes, he was there and can bee seen in a photo taken by Eamon Kennedy (i think it was Kennedy's photo) outside of Parkland in the crowd....but it was definitely him! The cameraman, Mal Couch, is standing right behind him and to his rt slightly holding his movie camera.

I was in my crib @ 142 D Street SE in Washington DC.
Do you recall what you were doing when you first heard?
Did you know that if Connolly had been sitting somewhere other than where he was actually sitting, the second shot would have had to have changed direction to hit him where it did?
What?
That was back when Democrats behaved civilized like conservatives.
BOO.Boooooo.boo-
Now Conservatives are batshit crazy to have supported a lying scam artist like Trump and the B.S. theory that he won the Election when he lost over 60 court cases because of lack of any real evidence of voter fraud that would have changed the results. He lost the Electoral College handily & lost the popular vote by over 7 Million votes. Sounds like a loss to me.
What a wonderful presentation.
The 6th Floor Museum has an accurate display of the sniper's nest, so of course, there's no Oswald.
@Kevin Reffitt: It's accurate to say that Oswald left the building within minutes after he shot the president.
